SALES TICKET AND CLIP Filed May 16, 1929 Patented Jan. 17, 1933 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFICE GEORGE W. HENRY, $13., 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO SOABAR COMPANY, OF FRANKFOBD, IHELAIDELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA SALES TICKET AND CLIP Application filed May 16,

One object of my invention is to provide a sales ticket and clip which can be readily secured to fabrics and other goods and which will be held firmly on the fabric without puncturing the same.

A further object of the invention is to so design the tickets and clips that the tickets can be fed to an attaching machine from a roll, and the clips can be bent from a Wire fed from a reel and applied to the goods with the tickets.

In the accompanying drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a piece of fabric showing the ticket attached thereto;

Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the rear of the fabric illustrating the form of the clip;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View drawn to an enlarged scale;

Fig. 4: is a transverse sectional view;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the ticket; and

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the clip.

The ticket 1 may be of any shape desired and is severed from a strip of tickets which are fed from a roll to a cutter at the point where the tickets are secured to the goods. At this point the ticket may be printed if desired. The ticket is preferably slotted at 2 so that the end of the clip 3 may force a portion of the fabric 4 into the slot, so as to firm- 1y secure the ticket to the fabric.

The clip 3 is cut and bent from a wire fed preferably from a reel, and has a U-shaped portion 5 and arms 6-6. The loop 7 of the U-shaped portion is less in width than the distance between the arms and is bent upwards so that when the clip is applied to the fabric and ticket, the looped end 7 will force the fabric into the slot as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, firmly securing the ticket to the goods.

In some instances the ticket may be made separate and the clip may also be made separate and the two attached by hand where a small number of tickets is used, but when a great number of tickets is used then a ticketprinting, cutting and attaching machine applies the tickets to the goods.

I preferably use a ticket with a slot, as the material which projects through this slot has a tendency to hold the ticket from turn- 1929. Serial No. 863,605.

ing, but in some instances the ticket may be perforated, and the turned-up loop may be much less in width than shown, so as to enter the perforation.

Where tickets made of thin paper or other material are used, then the slot may be dispensed with, as the turned-up loop portion of the clip will distort the tickets sufficiently to firmly hold them to the goods.

It will be noticed that the two arms of the clip rest upon the face of the ticket, while the loop portion is under the fabric, and that the end of the loop forces the material into the slots in the ticket, but the arrangement may be reversed if desired.

I claim 1. A clip for fastening loose tickets to fabric or other goods, said clip being made of Wire and having a U-shaped portion with arms extending from the outer ends of the U-shaped portion and being out of line with said portion, the loop of the U-shaped portion being less in width than the distance between the arms and being bent towards the plane of the arms to such an extent that when the clip is applied to the goods and ticket, the goods will be forced into fixed engagement with the ticket by the projecting loop of the clip.

2. The combination of a slotted ticket; a piece of fabric to which the ticket is applied; a clip separably connected to the ticket and the fabric, said clip having a U-shaped central portion and two arms, the arms being out of line with the U-shaped portion and of a greater distance apart than the width of the loop of the U-shaped portion, said loop being bent towards the plane of the arms to such an extent that when the ticket and the goods are assembled and the cli the bent looped portion of the tie et will be received with a portion of the fabric in the slot of the ticket, and the arms will rest on the ticket at each side of the loop.
